The Blacklist: Redemption (TV Series) Kevin Jensen (2017) User Reviews

Some critics weren't paying attention

[longrob · 7/10 · 5 March 2023]

To everyone complaining that this episode misrepresents the government, language, and geographical location of Kyrgyzstan -- the country in question is not supposed to be Kyrgyzstan! When it's shown on the map we can see that it's a fictional country called KYRKISTAN.

Moreover, to the person who complained: "The only Regimes that represent what you show in your shows are the ones you support and arm to the tooth by your government," YES, that's exactly what the show SAYS. In the episode we're told that Kyrkistan is a client of the u.s. Government, and that the u.s. Overlooks the dictator's crimes because the dictator supports u.s. Policy in the area. So the critic is complaining that the show ignores what in fact the show explicitly underlined.

Save a Family Friend

This Episode begins with Kevin, he asks his neighbor if he can borrow some coffee from her. Kevin got arrested by the police. Scottie wants to rescue Kevin, he got arrested by the cops in Turkey. Tom has saved Kevin at the prison. Tom tries to escape out of the prison with Kevin and Matias. Tom and Matias finally saved Kevin out of prison. Kevin got away. Kevin, Tom, Matias and Nez got into a car crash. Kevin got shot down by the police, he died at the embassy. Scottie cries when she hears that Kevin died. Solid Episode of The Blacklist: Redemption, this was not as good as the first Episode. It was al a bit friendly and not the action that i expect from this Series!

So damn lazy!

I am a big fan of the Blacklist, it is well researched I feel. The Blacklist Redemption's first episode was okay, the second one however, was culturally offensive and treated the audience as a bunch of idiots. They made Kyrgyzstan and Armenia speak Arabic, Arabic writing, Arabic speaking ... etc! The official language of Kyrgyzstan is Russian! Scotty even asks Tom "How's your Arabic?!". God Forbid a dictatorship is anything but Arabic.

I am truly disappointed in the writers and director for this. It is so hard to believe that this was an innocent mistake, it serves a despicable bias and it is racist in my opinion.

After finding the opportunity and finishing the Black LIST, I said, "I would like to take a look at this. I think that it is a good idea to establish a country like Kyrgyzstan in the continental climate, which is mentioned in Turkey, but in Turkey. Although the leader of the country is a clown clown, Turkey is not a banana republic. If the members of the index had an average secondary school intelligence, they would not make this mistake again.

Racist, Disgraceful

I was enjoying this show until you people decided to move Kyrgyzstan beside turkey and make them speak Arabic since they are bad guys. This truly shows what information you feed your audience and then on the same network in the news you wonder why there is islamophobia. Just incase you did it out of stupidness (since 7% of Americans think chocolate milk is from brown cows), here are some facts: Kyrgyzstan is beside Russia and speak both Russian and A local Language. Second fact: The only Regimes that represent what you show in your shows are the ones you support and arm to the tooth by your government, least of them Saudi to Morocco, UAE Egypt and the list goes own. Have some dignity and respect people's minds, we are not in the 1950's, everything is online.
